Moaning about the referee is as self-defeating as letting a bunch of Welshmen
beat you instead.

That does not mean Graham Rowntree is wrong in wanting to go to the IRB to
seek clarification over Steve Walsh’s decision-making at the scrum and
breakdown in Saturday’s Grand Slam decider. In truth, we’d all like that.

Nor does it mean Walsh is not the sort of preening official last seen in pro
sport when Jeff Winter was covering himself in spray tan and using re-runs
of Baywatch as his sporting motivation.
